The perfect accommodations for your Colorado Group Ski Trip put you right where you want to be near the ski resort that meets your needs. If you’re taking a group with some less experienced skiers, then look long and hard at the Holiday Inn Express in Salida near Colorado’s Monarch Mountain.

Monarch for A Great Group Ski Trip

First off, Monarch is very attractive for a group ski trip. Because the mountain offers a variety of terrain, skiers of all levels will have a great time at Monarch. [Read more…]

When you’re looking for perfect accommodations for your Colorado Group Ski Trip, look long and hard at The Vintage Hotel in Winter Park.

Ski-in, Ski-out Convenience Without the Price

The Vintage Hotel is located a short distance from the base at Winter Park. But, instead of walking to the lifts, you get to hitch a ride on the cabriolet. The cabriolet is an open air gondola that takes your from the hotel area over to the lift area of the base. [Read more…]

You’ve done it. You’ve planned the perfect group ski trip. You look forward to great days on the slopes and great evenings of devotionals and bonding with your youth group.

Excitement is building as the day of departure gets closer, but then the unthinkable happens. The flu sweeps through your group, and you’ve got a bunch of really sick kids on your hands. They’re in no condition to ride a bus for 12 hours to a high elevation and then ski for a few days.

Those sick kids also ponied up several hundred dollars for this trip. It’s too late for the resort to rebook the rooms. There’s no refund happening this late in the game.

This is where group ski trip insurance comes in. This scenario impacts an entire group, but even when bad luck causes one person to cancel at the last minute, money is wasted. And trip insurance doesn’t just insure trip cancellation due to illness. Take a look at what it can cover:

Trip cancellation or interruption

Medical evacuation

Medical expense and transportation

Lost or stolen baggage

Car collision coverage

And more, all depending on your circumstances and the plan you choose

Ski Daddy recommends Travel Guard insurance for our groups. We don’t sell the insurance ourselves, but our groups purchase directly from Travel Guard. There are several policies to choose from and as a group leader you can purchase insurance for the entire group and build it into the package price, or you can leave it up to the individuals in your group to purchase their own policy if they choose.

It’s important to understand the terms of your travel insurance policy – exactly what’s covered, how you can make a claim, and any time limitations on the coverage. But a little extra legwork now can save a lot of disappointment later.
